The Physics of Coupled Air-Water Boundary Layers

小行星9301440 该项目的目标是研究耦合的空气和水表面边界层的物理学。 这项研究是基于对先前两个实验（WAVES和SMILE）收集的现有数据的分析。 该项目将开展的一些重要研究课题是：（1）该研究有助于加深对海气相互作用微尺度特征的认识;（2）该研究对改进海气耦合模式中海气通量的计算公式具有潜在的益处;以及（3）研究旨在解决海洋-大气界面的物理和生物学关键过程的基本问题。

9301440 Terray The project goal is to study the physics of the coupled air and water surface boundary layers. The study is based on analyses of existing data collected during two prior experiments (WAVES and SMILE). Some of the important research topics to be undertaken in this project are: (1) the research is pertinent to an improved understanding of the microscale features of air-sea interaction, (2) the research is potentially beneficial to the improvement of the formulation of air-sea fluxes in coupled models of atmosphere- ocean systems, and (3) the research seeks to address fundamental issues about processes critical to the physics and biology of the ocean-atmosphere interface.
